Phillip, I am glad to see you took my words to heart.  But what gives me great joy (and you should have greater joy) is the fact that that you just realized something about yourself.  Self-realization is an exhilarating experience and necessary for personal growth. You took what I said and applied it to yourself.  I look forward to the time that YOU help me realize something about myself.

We should all be zoche to continue inspiring each other and helping each other grow each in our own way. 

Hi everyone sorry that I havent posted in a while. I have had a bit of a crazy week.
It started off with finally telling my wife everyting that is happening with me. I started off by telling her about my current situation and from there told her everything about my pass even since before we were married. The mistake that I did was that I didnt tell her everything on the same say. It took me a week and a half to tell here the whole story. The reason that I say that it was a mistake is because I started making her doubt if she can really trust me or not, that if I actually told her everything or not. Trust is one area in marriage that should not be broken because once it is than its really hard to gain the trust back. As you can imagine she is taking it really hard but on all I am really impress with the way she is handling it. She recommended us to go and see a sex therapist which we did. And it went pretty well B''H. Its not easy dealing with all this, but it is a huge step that I had to take since I knew that if i was really going to be serious about working on my addiction that this was a step that had to be taken. Iys really  amazing because just 2 month ago I would of never imagined that I would of told my wife, and  that i would go to a sex therapist , to SA meetings which I still havent gone to my first one yet excluding the phone meetings, which I have been participating with the past several weeks.  Overal these are steps that one needs to take in order to get rid of these addictions for life. Obviously it takes time. It actuallly takes one day at a time.
And thank you Ykv_Schwartz  for emailing me, encouraging me and reminding me of the importance of posting on the forum.
Have a good shabbos everyone.

Thank you for keeping us posted.  I am impressed with your integrity of taking the next proper step as I am sure this was very difficult.  If you get a chance, would you be able to share with us more on what happened and what we can learn from you.  Thank you for already pointing out some tips.
